Contents

The researches on magnetically levitated transport systems with electrodynamic suspension (EDS-MAGLEV systems) are today of great interest. The paper describes an analytical three-dimensional method which allows the determination of the levitation, drag and lateral forces acting on EDS-MAGLEV systems with superconducting and/or conventional coils, whatever their number, disposition and sizes may be. The application of the method to experimental prototypes shows a good concordance with the experimental data.

Übersicht

Untersuchungen über Magnetschwebeverkehrsysteme mit elektrodynamischer Abstoßung (EDS-MAGLEV) erregen heutzutage ein großes Interesse. Die vorliegende Abhandlung beschreibt ein analytisches dreidimensionales Verfahren für die Berechnung der Trag-Bewegungswiderstand-und Seitlichkräfte auf Magnetschwebefahrzeugen mit supraleitenden und/oder konventionellen Spulen, egal welche Anzahl, Anordnung und Ausdehnung sie haben. Die Anwendung dieses Verfahrens auf die Versuchsanlagen zeigt eine gute Übereinstimmung mit den Versuchsdaten.
